I couldn't agree more-and I think the basis of our different views resides in your statement about your difficulty withdrawing from Klonopin. Your experience has obviously been a difficult one, and if I were you, I'd feel "trapped" and frankly, bitter, that I wasn't better advised as to what I was getting into. I would find the situation scary ("what if they stop prescribing the Klonopin? What if I'm on a trip and forget it"). Believe me, I've been there and didn't like it one little bit.
So in terms of perspective, now I can stop any benzo I'm taking in days, without ANY discomfort. So, of course, I feel the benefit/risk ratio is much higher than I used to or than you, understandably, do now.
I wish you only the best for the future. Thanks for sharing.
